It depends on where in Alaska you are. The northern part has the most sunlight, 24 hours. The eastern, southern, and western all have about 18 to 22 hours of sunlight in the summer.

Why does is stay dark in Alaska and why is it only in the winter?

Its not always dark in Alaska. Below I have attached the month and how many hours of light we get during that month. What affects this though, is Alaska's location on the globe. It is tilted tword the sun part of the year and away from the sun the other part. Jan - 7.0 hours Feb - 9.1 hours Mar - 11.8 hours Apr - 14.7 hours May - 17.5 hours June - 19.5 hours July - 18.5 hours Aug - 15.8 hours Sep - 13.0 hours Oct - 10.1 hours Nov - 7.2 hours Dec - 5.5 hours This does not change over night when the month changes though. It changes a few minutes every night. -------------------------------------------------------- It should be noted that the amount of daylight/nighttime hours does vary depending on each location's proximity and relativity to the Arctic Circle. Some parts of Alaska, in fact, have a full 24 hours of daylight for up-to 85 consecutive days each year.
